NOTHING BUT DYNAMITE.
A Man with Red Hand Bills Disturbs q
Chicago Anti Coercion Meetings

CHICAGO. May 10.-There was a SEN
sational incident at the Anti-Coercion
meeting at Battery ID, last night. A few
minutes before O'Clock a man was seen
pushing his vay toward the platfo rm.
He was busily engaged in distributing
flaming red circular. Word went round
that the man was an intruder and one
of the committee of arrangements
was sent to know his business there
and how he came to- be dis
turbing the meeting. One glance
at the circular settled it, and
the peddler of red paper was. inconti-
nentfy hustled toward the door. He re-
sisted. and fought with the te-
nacity and courage of a bulldog. Two
or three stalwart policemen We're called
to the scene, and the intruder was drag
ged outside of the building. His pockets
were stuffed with circulars and, as the
officers shook him into submission, a
shower of red handbills fell from every
fold i'm his clothes. These circulars read
as follows:
by Irishmen, Ireland will be free: no
Home Rule; total separation, nothing
else; dynamite, indigestible pill for John
Bull; united resolutions, l. c. r."
No one seemed to know what the last
three letters represented, and the dyna-
inter was asked to explain. He would
not offer an explanation and the patrol
took him to the armory. To reporter
he said his name was William E. Fitz-
patrick, and that he was painter by
trade. Yes, I'm dynamiter," said he,
''and have been Fenian all my life
1 believe in dynamite as the only power
for Ireland. Oh! won't England rejoice
when it reaches that country that an
Irishman was locked up in Chicago for
for preaching DYNAMITE"
Fitzpatrick was arraigned in police
court this morning, Court fixed his fine

This is great boon for that region. as
there are thousands of acres of good
farming lands at the base of these noun

them valuable. Another good affect of
the earthquake is the opening of two

LONDON, MAY 10.-In the House OF
Commons to-day, i'm Committee on the
Coercion Bill, Mr.. Healey moved an
amendment that a person committed for
contempt of court be treated as a first
class misdemeanant. He argued that
witnesses committed for refusing t.
answer questions ought not to be sub
jected to the same punishment as crimi-
mails. When the last coercion act was in
effect, he said, the mere detention of
many persons shortened their lives ten
years. [Cries of Hear. Hear
Mr. Balfour. Chief Secretary for Ire
land, said that the prisoners committed
could avoid punishment by answering the
questions. There was no difference be
tween the cases under the clause and
cases of contempt under the ordinary

if the Government imprisoned witnesses
as common criminals for refusing to
answer questions it would be a disgrace
